About
Just A Spoonful is not just any umbrella, it's a larger-than-life adaptation of Mary Poppins' enchanted umbrella. Both a nostalgic tribute to this classic childhood character and homage to New Orleans culture, where umbrellas are often used as celebratory accessories in second lines. Mary Poppins has just floated in from a New Orleans parade, landing in Black Rock City, abandoning her umbrella to take in playa delights. We are offering Black Rock City a nostalgic warm hug from our beloved nanny.
